jimmy_m. Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Is it possible to get a blue filter (for black and white photography) for the CFI,CFE lenses for the Hasselblad 503CW? I believe its a bayonet 60mm mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary_ferguson1 Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Yes, virtually all the B&W range is available in bayonet 60, although it may be a special order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_salomon Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Heliopan makes a very complete range of filters in all Hasselblad bayonet sizes including Bay 60, 70 and 8. They also make adapters to convert Bay 60 to screw thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinteo Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Yes, B+W makes blue filters in Bay 60, but I'm not sure if you can get them with MRC. Also, even the stronger ones (like the 081) have rather mild effects compared to what can be achieved with Wratten filters. Actually, unlike their red and yellow filters, none of B+W's regular blue filters have the equivalent spectral selection of their Wratten counterparts. For example, they have no filter which is the equivalent of a minus red. If you need to be spectrally selective, or if you're trying to simulate orthochromatic film, then you'll probably be better off just using gelatin filters.
